USDA Biobased

Defined by the 2002 Farm Bill, biobased products are composed in whole, or in significant part, of renewable biological sources.

USDA Certified Biobased Products must meet or exceed the minimum biobased content percentage in its given category in order to use the Certified Biobased Product label. Manufacturers who have obtained the rights to use the BioPreferred® label on a product have submitted to USDA test evidence of the biobased content of the product.
